Let's see if we can carry our dominance over from last week. Edmonton has gotten some weapons back since we played them last, I expect a close game.

#Bombers have five games left and need two wins to secure home playoff game. Or losses by #Esks and #Riders.

And Lions.  Bit more complicated scenario with playing them twice  (simple win the damn games I guess) but basically magic number of two for them as well.

#33 earned the couple days he is going to get this week. His back looked like it tightened up real good.

Someone said that Bowman looked disinterested. Never thought much about that during the game but yeah he sure was. He took himself out of the game.

Next week.. 

6 in a row vs 7 in a row 

Esks vs Als!!

Somebody has to win. 

Montreal winning that one would be so amazing.  Gotta wonder how hot Maas' seat is.  Are they just going to lose their way from 7-0 to 5th in the West or try to light a fire there by firing him.

Go 3-2 down the stretch MOS gets back to .500 for his career.  A win next week gets him there too.

Maas sure looks miserable, doesn't he? 

Maybe we could send him a new chapeau to cheer him up 

I've seen a few teams tank in my day. The Esks losing streak is getting very interesting.

We just killed the Eskies...  like I can't see this team recovering from that loss.  Its in Reilly's head now.

I thought Maas was gonna puke.

it's been funny because i think the prevailing narrative gives him some breathing room.. but the esks did not look elite tonight. playcalling was sluggish and it was almost like the team was going through the motions like a 13-5 stamps club biting it in the playoffs. goddamn, bombers looked coached up in comparison. it hasn't been like that every week but i'm loving it tonight.

This team makes things interesting but certainly knows how to win games. Big play on offence after the Esks score and then the D shuts the door !

I was as I'm sure all were about this d without Westermxn but they came to play tonight and the db's really locked it down when it counted.

They were ready to play. I'm glad for Medlock we didn't lose this game. He'll be fired up for Hamilton. 

look at the esks roster, they will turn it around. I thin it starts next week

It's the Als & Kavis Reed coming home. They'll be slaughtered again. 

I thought Maas was relatively calm this game. The only thing I thought was he looked like he was gonna cry after randle broke up that 3rd down pass to seal the game. I seen a few teary eyes in my day,  and those eyes looked about as wet as a rider fans panties at a family reunion

Not our problem anymore! You can only beat the team in front of you. Eff the effing effers!

You know Medlock will turn it around.....ST and O aren't question marks. If D keeps growing.....man oh man. Sky's the limit. This team just took down an Esks roster that is as talented as anyone.....watch out. These guys are for real.

And Edmonton wanted this game so very badly. Reilly with all his heroics and that Zylstra is a hand full. Still we hung tough FORT HEW!

I bet he was told to hold it together or else. He's Ed Hervey's guy, not Brock Sunderland's.

LOL!

If the Als have any sense they fire Reed after the season & hire Ed Hervey in his place.

DBs played Edmonton receivers a lot more aggressively and it seemed like the Edmonton receivers were stunned to a certain extent.  Like they thought the game would be a lot easier for them.

I thought for sure we were going to get scewed on Maas' challenge but nope, officials got it right, unlike the trapped-ball catch earlier in the game.

Big win.  And could have been much bigger, 9 points Medlock left out there (granted one was from midfield) and a TD bomb Denmark dropped.  Easily could have scored another 15.

Yeah Denny's gotta make that catch. Had both hands on it.

I wasn't worried about the challenge until they showed they little grab of the front of the jersey, I thought that might be enough for them to justify the call. Luckily, looks like Williams push-offs have now lost him the benefit of the doubt. 

also: probably just the observation of a long-suffering bombers fan but i've noticed the last few games that nichols is playing with authority and never seems to have happy feet, if he gets flushed and throws it away it's a clean play. when i was in elementary school and dunigan was doing that (and sammy garza was making me cry), and a couple of years of khari, is the last time i can remember this immense feeling of ease for a few games in a row. anybody wanna bask in it with me??

It seems like the inserting of Santo Knox has brought up Hurls play.

More valuable than a bag of footballs, eh? What a trade that was!
